“Clara did an excellent job caring for my seven year old kitty Bonnie. I came home to a happy and well fed cat. Thanks so much Clara and I will definitely call upon you to care for Bonnie in the future!”

About: About me: After growing up with dogs, I became a dog mom in 2020 (shout out pandemic puppy parents) to a now 6 year old rescue pup from Puerto Rico! I love to be able to give my friends and family peace of mind when traveling, working late, shuffling schedules and more. For boarding requests, I do also have a 3 year old cat- she is indifferent with dogs but we ask that all overnight stays confirm a meet and greet to ensure comfort/safety of all pets prior to boarding. Thank you! Schedule: I’m a teacher who will be home for summer break so as long as my calendar is open on Rover, I am available! Full availability: June 19-August 16th. Experience: I have experience with small to large dogs, special diets, giving medication, post-surgery care, cats, and more. I treat all animals as if they were my own and will go above and beyond to make sure their needs are met. If your dog needs company on a walk, my pup is also extremely docile and has been known to calm nervous dogs or puppies when strolling around the city. Let's get strolling! ** Boarding requests: meet & greets required prior to overnight stays to ensure your dog is comfortable with my dog & cat, who are both docile, well-adjusted to other dogs. Thank you! Since I am home reliably at 4:30 each day, I am typically always available to help out for others who may get stuck late at the office, work happy hour runs late, need to run errands, or get dinner with a friend, any time between 5-10pm :) I am very cognizant of leash manners and appropriate opportunities to socialize dogs when on walks. For home check-in's, I'm willing to feed and provide any enrichment activities for your pups to make sure they are busy and/or relaxed while they wait for you to come home!
“I highly recommend Kathleen for drop-ins! She is consistently reliable, communicative, and truly attentive to my very clingy French bulldog. I always receive timely updates and photos, which give me peace of mind on days when I’m away from home all day.”

About: Grew up on a farm with a variety of animals, always had a pet in my life. Understand the nonverbal queues of cats and dogs. I am currently in nursing school through the army therefore I am available most weekends and holidays, possibly weekdays after 6 pm, for special occasions. I can follow the exact routine that you set, less stress for you and less stress on them, respecting their space and I prioritize safety.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat, Ivy, received! Summar arrived right on time for the appointment and made sure to keep me updated on how Ivy was doing. The photo she sent of them bonding was all I needed to know that my cat was in great hands—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of Ivy but also cleaning her dishes, picking up litter debris, and making sure the cat waste was properly taken care of. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I highly recommend booking with Summar! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

“Annah is honestly hands down the best cat sitter ever. She knew all of Bee’s favorite toys and gave him the attention he craved. She would be my first choice in the future to look after my precious Bee!”

“Along with having an authentic relationship with Miles, Armanush is an exemplary communicator who works diligently to ensure my pet’s needs are met during her drop-in visits.”

About: Hi, I’m an attorney who works from home and is saving for a wedding and a house. I grew up with a chihuahua in my family and started dog sitting for friends in college. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs for friends I made in law school. Working from home allows me to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, and love while keeping them safe and happy. I’d love to help care for your furry friend! I work from home with a minimal meeting schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious apartment adjacent to a large park, so I have the resources and space to keep your pet happy. I also live in a dog friendly area.
“Elizabeth is great! She comes right on time, and the cats are well taken care of. She’s very communicative and updates us with lots of photo!”

“Excellent work, very friendly, super responsive—everything all in one delightful person! We enjoyed having Abigail as our sitter (and so did Nigel) and highly recommend. We would love to hire Abigail again!”


“Cynthia helped us out last minute, was incredibly responsive and took great care of Felix in our absence. I would definitely book her again and recommend her highly. Thank you Cynthia!”
“We utilized Kevin’s services for the first time during my outpatient surgery for a drop in visit. He inspires trust, which is extremely important on a day like that. He followed all arrangements well & kept us apprised. We certainly hope to hire him again!”

Daria does an excellent job of meeting the needs of our cats wherever they are regardless of their age or special requirements. During the health decline of Louis, a big ginger boy, he would respond well to Daria even through meds delivery. Now, we count on Daria to deliver the care that our clever but elderly cat craves. We happily recommend Daria as your pet sitter/caregiver.

This is the 16th time I have booked Ashley to watch my cat Violet, and every single time she goes above and beyond. I am so sad to be moving outside of her sitter radius. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, patient, and fun pet sitter. She has been so amazing to my cat and I can always count on her. It has been so wonderful trusting her with my beloved fur child, I cannot say enough good things. Thank you Ashley!!!

Reyhan was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats when we travelled for 10 days. At each check-in she not only took basic care of our cats but also played with them, shared adorable photos, and alerted us early about potential issues with their energy levels or food. They turned out to be just fine, but we appreciated knowing that they were being cared for by someone who was so attentive. We felt at ease when we were on our vacation. Thank you, Reyhan!

Allison is great! She is responsible and responsive. She took notes at our meet and greet (which others have not done), asked good questions (i.e., reminding me to take out my carrier in case of emergency) and she left my front door properly locked (which others haven't done). Allison also showed great flexibility when I realized I needed an extra day of care that I hadn't planned for. My cat was in good hands!

Johanna was great with my two cats! It was my first time leaving them since they were adopted, so I was very nervous, but she provided lots of updates on how they were behaving. She even got some very cute pictures of my wiggly void cat who never sits still, and his shyer brother.
